Join Mary and Renee as they jump back into the world of 2000s and 2010s Young Adult Fiction. Each week, they discuss a different YA book from their youth and pose hard hitting questions: Why aren't any of these characters in therapy? Is this incest? Why were we so obsessed with toxic vampire boys? Each episode is full of laughs, absurd teen drama, memories of the early 2000s, and a cat who is hellbent on derailing this production. Tune in weekly to see if Mary and Renee can every answer the ultimate question: Why a book?

Tenth grade really is just /so/ crazy. Maddie’s facing her driver’s test (and getting used by the Queen Bee), Angela’s going on bad dates (is 2 weeks the paper anniversary?), and Zoe’s discovering religion (while getting groomed by her English teacher). Mary takes Renee through the whirlwind instant message of Lauren Myracle’s ttyl, although the true miracle was finishing the book at all—it’s filled with horribly outdated slurs, bad takes on predatory relationships, and absolutely no character development. But it does have some funny reviews on Goodreads, and it brings back memories of Mary’s good old days catfishing on instant messenger sites.
